Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 13 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.

20240221FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I was in Portland, Oregon, charging the car at a 350 fast station located in Fred Meyer and it was snowing and raining at the same time. I couldn't get the car to charge more the 90 % and got only 175 miles. Since it was wet, the car windshield will not defrost. The visibility in the car was not very good. I start driving back home to Eugene, around 100 miles. I was concern if i can make it home. When i arrive home, i had only 20 miles left on the charge. The car used to get 230 to 240 miles ranges. Now, even in mild weather, i get 199 miles maximum with 100% charge. I left the car to the dealer to check the battery and they didn't find anything wrong. Now, I will not drive the car in cold weather since i feel not safe driving more than a 100 miles and the charging station will not deliver the charge at more than 20 kw(it will take 2 days to charge the battery at 20 kw).

20230118ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The heater has failed. Dealer has diagnosed as high voltage heating unit failure. The issue is that this problem is occurring in many etron GTs and Porsche Taycans and there is no info from Audi as to when they will have replacement parts. No heat in the middle of winter, and the windows fog up, forcing you to drive with a window cracked open.

On Thursday August 4, 2022, after backing out of a space, I placed the vehicle in drive and the vehicle shifted uncommanded to neutral prior to being motion. My vehicle has shifted to neutral once and park twice previously. I reported this issue to Audi of Indianapolis in May 2022, but no technical remedy was provided.

20220725POWER TRAIN

After exiting the highway and slowing for traffic the car lost power and displayed a message along the lines of "Drive system malfunction. Continued driving not possible." I was able to limp the car out of traffic to a parking lot nearby, but the car had almost no power. You could push the accelerator all the way to the floor and the car would barely move. Once in the parking lot I turned the car off for a few minutes and then back on. The problem appeared to resolve but once exiting the parking lot immediately came back. Once again I limped to another parking lot and shut the car off longer, waiting for it to go to "sleep." After restarting the car this time the error was gone and driving functionality was normal, and has not reoccurred since (knock on wood). The e-tron GT owners forum has a thread where others have experienced the issue, which is how I was aware that turning the car off and on could resolve the problem and allow continued driving. While the issue has not persisted, i

20220719POWER TRAIN

While backing out of a parking space, with the car in reverse and in motion, the car turned itself off. The car stopped abruptly, I'm not sure if it applied the brakes or some sort of parking brake - at first I thought we got hit from behind - it was very forceful. The car turning itself off and stopping without warning is a huge safety risk, I am glad it did not happen on a roadway. Possibly related, I had started the "Park assist" feature from my phone. I started the engine from my phone, but did not move the car. I entered the car and put it in reverse. I wonder if the "Park assist" timed out and triggered the car turning off. It was about 30 seconds from when the car turned on before it turned off. Depending on the parking configuration, that would be enough time to get onto a public road, a real danger. To best address the specific questions in guidelines, it has not been looked at by a dealer or service center. I have encountered dozens of minor safety issues with the
